P/T Meetings
We are not holding these until next year. Schools can choose when to have them. We will hope to have them in February/March of next year. In this school we are always proactive about getting in touch with parents if we have any concerns. Likewise, please get in touch if you do have concerns.
Special Education meetings
Over the next few weeks, the Special Ed team will hold meetings with parents of pupils who receive extra supports. You will have an appointment made for you and when you come in to meet the Special Ed teacher we will also meet the class teacher - this will be your child's Parent/Teacher meeting to save you coming up again for another appointment.
Scholastic Book Fair
This arrives on Monday and the pupils can spend Mon/Tues viewing the books. They can purchase books and stationery from Weds onwards. Parents are free to come up any day to purchase books. Sometimes books and stationery need to be ordered in. You can read all about it by clicking on my article: http://ballymittyns.ie/News/Scholastic-Book-Fair--in-school-next-week/427686/Index.html
